What if your beauty salon is under pressure and debts are piling up?
As a beautician, you work every day to make others shine. Your clients leave the door relaxed and satisfied — but in the meantime, you are walking around with worries. The rising costs, the decreasing number of appointments, postponed corona payments or bills from suppliers are weighing increasingly heavily on your shoulders. You work very hard, but still can't make ends meet. Does this sound familiar? Then it's time to see how you you can get structural help with your debtsIn this blog you will read how financial problems arise in the beauty industry, what you can do and how you can get back on your feet.
The financial pitfalls in the beauty industry
Most beauticians are independent entrepreneurs or small salon owners. That means: arranging everything yourself. From scheduling appointments and customer service to purchasing, administration and tax matters. And with that responsibility also come risks, such as:
- Rising costs of products and equipment
- Customers who spend less or cancel their appointments
- Rent that continues, even if your turnover temporarily drops
- Outstanding invoices to suppliers or the tax authorities
- No buffer in case of illness or temporary absence
Add to that the aftermath of the corona period (where many salons were forced to close) and it is clear: as a beauty professional, you can easily get into debt - even if you do everything 'right'.
Common debts of beauticians
- Tax debts
Consider deferred VAT, income tax or additional assessments. - Rental arrears or payment problems with landlords
Especially if your salon is located in a retail space with service charges. - Unpaid invoices from suppliers
For products, equipment or disposables. - Private debt due to low business income
For example, overdrafts, loans or postponing your own mortgage/rent. - Arrears in health care or pension premiums
Because you pay yourself last.
Beyond Shame: You Don't Have to Do This Alone
Many independent beauticians continue to walk around with financial worries for a long time without seeking help. Shame plays a major role: “I should be able to solve this myself. What if my customers or colleagues find out?”
